AN APPLICATION to replace Longue Rue House and Maison Maritaine with two extra-care housing developments has been submitted for planning approval.

TAXPAYERS will contribute between £20m. and £25m. towards the redevelopment of two States-run residential homes, Housing has confirmed.

APPLAUSE and tears – two very different reactions to the same piece of news.

PLANS to redevelop two taxpayer-funded care homes will result in the rehousing of more than 20 States Housing tenants while the work is carried out.

TWO taxpayer-funded care homes are to be demolished and replaced with modern units designed to enable residents to be more independent, under plans unveiled by the Housing Department.

INCOMPETENCE is to blame for care home residents’ personal information being accessible online, according to a leading security consultant.
